The gameplay offers 30-50 hours of experience centered around exploring procedurally generated dungeons and customizing party equipment and skills, though the dungeons themselves are not particularly memorable. While the mechanics can be complex and initially challenging, they become easier with optimization, and the game features an achievement system that rewards progress outside of traditional grinding. However, the gameplay suffers from clunky dialogue, poorly explained mechanics, and automatic battle systems, leading to mixed feelings among players who appreciate the art but find the overall experience lacking.
“It can provide 30-50 hours of gameplay.”
“The mechanics are quite complicated and you'll die a lot at first, but once you get the hang of it and optimize your team and equipment, it gets easy.”
“The art is charming, and the overall gameplay loop was perfectly fine for a dungeon crawler.”
“That said, the main gameplay experience revolves around exploring the procedurally generated dungeons (which aren't really memorable, but they do their job) and customizing your party's equipment and skills.”
“There are also a few things regarding translation and descriptions, like text going out of the screen, in the middle of sentences, text goes too fast sometimes, mechanics without explanation/poorly explained... etc. It doesn't seem like the developers are giving any attention to this either, so don't expect updates.”
“The battle mechanics are automatic and uninspired.”

The story is characterized by its humorous and wacky dialogue, featuring amusing character interactions and frequent fourth wall breaks, though it lacks a strong plot. While the comedic elements and voice acting are well-received, the narrative is often seen as flimsy and repetitive, making it less appealing for those seeking a substantial storyline. Familiarity with Touhou characters is necessary to fully appreciate the context, as the game does not provide adequate introductions.
“The story is a meme and it's the best part of this game for me, with some fourth wall breaks here and there. The interactions between the characters are pretty amusing, and the voice acting fits surprisingly well in the comedic sense.”
“The story and the conversations are pretty funny, though.”
“You'll meet more characters along the way as the plot goes on, and the most notable thing about the game is that it is wacky in terms of how characters talk to each other and how they act.”
“I mean, Remilia lampshades early on that the plot is flimsy.”
“Dialogue is humorous, but a lot of it gets repeated with disappointing frequency, and I really do mean 'dialogue', because there's not much of a plot to speak of so much as humorous banter.”
“The Touhou characters are thrown in and barely introduced, therefore, to understand anything of the plot one would have to already be familiar with the characters.”

The humor in the game is characterized by witty dialogues and amusing item descriptions, though some players note that the repetition of dialogue can detract from the experience. While the plot is minimal, the humorous banter and cutesy art style contribute to a lighthearted atmosphere, appealing to those who enjoy quirky and hit-or-miss humor. Overall, the game's charm lies in its simplistic design and the endearing portrayal of characters, which may resonate differently with players.
“Most of the dialogues and item descriptions are funny.”
“The story and the conversations are pretty funny, though.”
“It's more along the lines of Elminage than a hardcore standalone series - that is, it takes the basic mechanics from the early wizard games and adapts them with some quality of life features - and adds a bunch of hit-and-miss humor and cutesy art.”

The music in the game is generally well-received, featuring a varied and catchy soundtrack that enhances the experience, particularly the lively battle themes. While some players found the music repetitive after extended play, the overall quality and diversity, including the ability to adjust voice and sound effects separately, were appreciated. However, opinions on specific tracks, like the intro music, were mixed.
“The music in the game is nicely varied, with some tracks being really catchy or even awesome at times, while others are wacky and relaxed.”
“The music sounded great (it got a little old after about hour 40, but what music wouldn't?).”
“I only like the intro music, though.”
“The battle music that you'll be hearing a lot is fortunately great and lively enough to prevent you from getting exhausted from hearing it.”
“The game is fully voiced, but they are all synthesized; thankfully, it allows adjustment of voice volume separate from other sound effects and music.”

Players appreciate the grinding aspect of the game for its relaxing nature, often enjoyed alongside podcasts. With seven classes featuring unique skills and an achievement system that rewards progress beyond traditional grinding, the game offers a satisfying experience for fans of grind-heavy gameplay, particularly those who enjoy the Touhou universe.
“There are 7 classes total, with different skills and skill trees for upgrade, and the more time someone spends farming with the ones you chose, upgraded versions of them will be available for different situations.”
“It's a great game to kill time and to enjoy for those who like grindy gameplay, especially if they enjoy doing it with Touhou characters.”
“It also uses an achievement system, where you complete benchmarks as you go that reward you mechanically, so in effect you can progress your characters by means outside grinding gear and XP.”
